Watching in Horror as the Russians Destroy Themselves (Again)

Remember back in the summer of 2009 when His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Russia traveled to Ukraine and delivered furious, fire-and-brimstone condemnations of Western conspicuous consumption, implying that the West was evil and Ukraine should rejoin the holy Russian fold?

Remember how it soon came to light that while making these righteous utterances His Holiness was sporting a $30,000 Breguet watch, an item that cost the equivalent of four Russian average annual salaries? That was a rather embarrassing situation, to be sure, a new low you might say in the annals of Russian corruption and incompetence.

Well, you may have forgotten about it by now but the lackeys who work for His Holiness certainly have not. For this reason, when they spotted Kirill in a publicity photograph once again showing off his costly timepiece (see there below, proudly displayed on the left wrist) . . .

. . . they quickly pulled out their Photoshop software and removed it before the photograph could see the light of day

Unfortunately for His Holiness, however, they did not notice that the watch had been reflected in the shiny, costly surface of the shiny, costly table at which His Holiness was seated. Therefore, they did not remove such reflection along with said watch, leaving a tell-tale sign of their mendacity.

So instead of doing the moral thing back in 2009 and getting rid of this devilish watch, selling it and giving the cash to Russia’s sick and poor (who number in the millions, Russia does not rank in the top 125 nations of the world for average life expectancy), and instead of doing the at-least sensible thing and wearing it only in private, Kirill’s “solution” is to go right on brazenly displaying this obscene item and to have his henchman Photoshop the watch off his wrist. At least, that is, until they get caught red-handed.

It may seem horrifying, but what else can one expect in the most corrupt major civilization on this planet? Nothing more, of course, not even from the man who is supposed to be the nation’s moral compass.

There’s no doubt that this KGB henchman is an evil person, where to him God Almighty does not exist. His selfish megalomania and trappings of his office do not and never have known the real meaning of the words – piousness, honesty or decency.

Furthermore this evil church is an adjunct of the KGB, where it has no qualms in betraying the faithful to the greatest murdering machine in history and where each turns to the other and refers to the other as “brothers.”

His ‘holliness’ patriarch of russia, kiryll is also part time kgb operative. His last assignment was to Lebanon and Syria just before the russia made slaughter house of syria. The patriarch of russia, Kirasha had that uncontrollable urge to go to Lebanon and Syria to pray among the muslims and at the same time to take care of weapon of mass destruction, smuggled from Iraq just before the fall of Sadam [before Sadam’s fall another kgb operative evgeny primakov made 30 visits to Damascus running like a headless chicken and moving WMD from Iraq to Syria]. So, why not, a kgb operative has right to wear the costly watch. It goes back to ‘liberation’ of Poland when the soviet hordes entered Poland, the number one on the list of stealing were watches of all types, shapes or forms. The russian/soviet soldiers just stole all watches of Poland and of course, they left shit and dirt all over Poland…

LR, Valeriy Portnikov had an excellent commentary on April 21, 2012 about the whole disgusting episode. The Russian Orthodox “Church” declared that the it was the work of “dark anti-church forces” and held a “prayer service” against them.

He makes the point – what is a pious, faithful believer supposed to think after episodes like this?
